Pampasgrass Cortaderia selloana
This is a very big, 9 feet tall, clump grass used extensively as an ornamental. The inflorescence is nearly white, fluffy, up to 14" tall. The long droopy leaves are semi-evergreen and have very sharp edges. In some areas, this plant is considered an invasive weed. Fire will not kill the roots.
